![]() ![]() You may have noticed that we’ve been using male pronouns here, and indeed, all four of the aforementioned figures are male characters. With this higher-priced figure, McFarlane is springing for additional materials beyond plastic: The fur collar of Saladin’s cloak is actual fabric, and the cloak itself is cloth as well. He’s wearing his usual golden armor and brandishing his massive ax - albeit without the flames seen in Destiny: Rise of Iron. The larger toy, which will cost $34.99, comes with two different heads: Saladin with his helmet and without. McFarlane is also producing one 10-inch Destiny figure at the moment, enshrining one of the game’s best-known characters (and the star of its most recent expansion): Lord Saladin, overseer of the Iron Banner. So the toymakers knew that a Hunter carries Thorn on his hip when he isn’t using it, and they included a placement in that location on the figure for the exotic weapon. Council noted that McFarlane worked closely with Bungie, and said that many of the people who helped design the figures are die-hard Destiny players. McFarlane’s attention to detail applies to the figures’ physical design as well as their eye-catching armor. “It really looks like bone,” said Council. The Destiny figures also exhibit an impressive level of detail: Consider the notches on the outside of Thorn’s cylinder, the embossed Iron Banner sigil on the Hunter’s chest piece, the ossified pieces of the Warlock’s chest armor and helm. People wanted to be able to do more with their toys, so new figures from McFarlane - including these Destiny ones - will feature at least 14 points of articulation. ![]() These are proper action figures, not statues, which means they’re poseable.Ĭhris Council, brand manager at McFarlane Toys, told Polygon that the company recently made some changes to its figures based on customer feedback. The Titan comes with Gjallarhorn and Invective the Warlock comes with Touch of Malice and Black Hammer and the Hunter comes with Thorn and Hung Jury. Instead of raid gear, the Hunter is wearing bronze Iron Banner armor, his Iron Companion set from Year 2.Įach of the Guardian figures will cost just $19.99, and each one includes a Destiny-branded base as well as a Ghost and two weapons. The Warlock is clad in his bony armor from King’s Fall, the raid in Destiny: The Taken King. The Titan sports his golden raid armor from the Vault of Glass, the set of armor bearing Kabr’s name. ![]() McFarlane is producing one 7-inch Guardian figure for each of Destiny’s three classes, and all of them feature specialized armor that players will instantly recognize. The company brought the entire lineup to Toy Fair NY this week, and as you can see in the photos below, these are some fine toys - especially at the mass-market prices they’ll be sold for. This year, McFarlane Toys is jumping in with some Destiny figures that are more traditional. On the high end, you have 3A’s incredible 12-inch Guardian statues, which are collectibles with a price to match: nearly $200. Mega Bloks offers a wide array of figurines and vehicles, and while they’re well-made and available on the cheap, you may not be into the company’s “baby’s first action figure” aesthetic. Destiny is one of the most well-known video games on the planet, but fans of the game don’t have many options if they want to buy Destiny toys.
